Behavior Analysis Expanding in China
This section of The ABA Newsletter highlights some early efforts of development of behavior analysis in China, beginning with our upcoming 3rd international conference in Beijing. The conference resulted from ABA’s 2001 delegation, in which a group of behavior analysts traveled to China to network with faculty, government representatives, practitioners, and administrators about behavior analysis and explore opportunities for future collaboration (Malott, et al., 2002). In this section you will find information about the conference itself, as well as post-conference tours to historical and cultural sites. You will read about Applied Behavior Consultants, Inc.’s establishment of three ABA schools for children with autism, written by Dr. Joe Morrow, one of the 2001 China delegation participants. As well, Guo Yanqing writes about the development of parent and professional training to treat young children with autism, provided through the Institute of Mental Health at Peking University. His job has been supported partially by a 2004 SABA International Development Grant.
